Some years, it has taken months of intense meeting and back room deals to iron out the date, that has theoretically been the same for over a decade.
So, here we have an agreed upon date, and our trails are on fire.

Good times were had at this years Nordic CX 24-hour race! It does seem that each year the total cumulative riding distance diminishes slightly, but that fact doesn't seem to hurt the competition!
Oh the race... The Drama... or should we say "Dramas".
Good to see over 18 participants this year!
Here are this years results:

We hesitate to use the word 'last', since we are quite sure this is not the last we have seen of David, nor was this likely his last TNR. David, like the TNR, is not something that just goes away never to return. Rather, much like the scars one might get from violently and repeatedly crashing one's bicycle, they become a part of us, never to be scrubbed away by time, distance, or copious CycleChickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01507051361148751889noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602880.post-65393723305092109882014-11-26T17:13:00.000-06:002014-11-26T17:13:17.603-06:00Nordic Cross News.
